Netherlands World Cup History

There aren't many nations more unlucky than the Netherlands when it comes to the FIFA World Cup. The Dutch have come agonisingly close to clinching the trophy on multiple occasions, losing in the World Cup Final no fewer than three times.

Holland were the losing finalists at back-to-back World Cup tournaments in the 1970s, beaten by West Germany and then Argentina, before also finishing runners-up to Spain in 2010. In between these two periods Ons Oranje also reached the World Cup semi-finals in 1998 and claimed fourth place.

Of course, ending runners-up at three separate editions of the FIFA World Cup will have a profound impact on supporters of the Netherlands national team.

Many fans will want to forget the hardship of losing the World Cup Final, however in the case of Holland this will be rather difficult to achieve until Ons Oranje manage to triumph on the grandest stage in world football.

The 1974 World Cup Final was particularly cruel as the Dutch took the lead inside the opening three minutes against West Germany. Ultimately the hosts bounced back and went on to capture the trophy at the Olympiastadion Munich.

Four years later it was a more one-sided affair as Argentina were in front for much of the contest. The Netherlands equalised through Dick Nanninga in the final minutes of the second half, although the South Americans scored twice more in extra-time.

More recently, Holland suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Spain in the 2010 World Cup Final. Held at Soccer City Stadium in South Africa, the game ended goalless after 90 minutes after which extra-time was required to decide a winner. With a penalty shootout approaching, Andres Iniesta netted the winner in the 116th minute to once again deny Ons Oranje their dream of hoisting aloft the World Cup.

Best Netherlands Players at the World Cup

Over the years there have been many seriously talented players who have pulled on the famous orange jersey at the FIFA World Cup.

Johan Cruyff was the nation's crown jewel, inspiring the Dutch national team to the World Cup Final in 1974. Dennis Bergkamp, Frank de Boer, Clarence Seedorf, and Patrick Kluivert all featured at the 1998 World Cup in which Holland progressed to the semi-finals.

In more recent years the likes of Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Wesley Sneijder, Arjen Robben, and Mark van Bommel were part of the Netherlands squad that made it to the World Cup Final in 2010.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar saw stars such as Virgil van Dijk, Frenkie de Jong & Memphis Depay represent Ons Oranje.

Top Netherlands Coaches at the World Cup

Several of the greatest tacticians to emerge from the Netherlands have gone on to lead the Dutch national team at the FIFA World Cup. Rinus Michels, who is often credited as the innovator behind the "Total Football" style of play, guided the Netherlands to the World Cup Final in 1974.

Others who have been in charge of the Netherlands at the World Cup include Dick Advocaat in 1994, Guus Hiddink in 1998, and Louis van Gaal at both the 2014 & 2022 tournaments.
